Li Mu is a very cautious person, he will not do what he can't do.

After listening to Li Mu's plan, Wang Jian didn't want to go back to the north immediately.

He hoped to study by Li Mu's side for a while before going back, there was no such interesting battlefield in the north.

However, although Li Mu has such a plan, it will take time to renovate the sea ships, and it will take time to harvest crops this season to fill military rations, and migrate to attract more people to reclaim the famine.

Under the banner of Zhu Xiang, Li Mu arranged several strongholds on the north bank to attract civilians who could not survive the Chu State to come to the south to reclaim the famine.

Zhu Xiang was speechless when he learned about this. He felt that Li Mu simply had the demeanor of a smuggler in later generations.

A dignified one of the four famous generals of the Warring States period has become a smuggling snakehead, this must be the bad water and soil of the Qin State, which brought Li Mu badly.

It is impossible for the old King of Qin to wait here for Li Mu to slowly settle troops and grain, so he naturally wants to return to Xianyang. Zhu Xiang and Ying Xiaozheng also went back together, and Zichu was left behind.

The old King of Qin wanted Zichu to see more of the southern customs and customs.

Zhu Xiang was very worried about Zi Chu's body, and nagged Zi Chu for a long time before leaving, telling Zi Chu to pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and not to run around.

He repeatedly told Li Mu that he must be optimistic about Zichu.

After boarding the boat, Zhu Xiang also shouted to the shore and told Zichu to have a good rest.

Zi Chu's expression was very embarrassed.

Wang Jian secretly said to Li Mu: "I now understand what you mean by the son-in-law Chu will definitely be Zhu Xiang's eternal friend." ”

Li Mu smiled, and then quickly hid his smile, lest he be discovered by Zichu and become angry.

Zhu Xiang was still shouting, and was pulled back by the old King Qin's ruler: "Don't be ashamed!" ”

Zhu Xiang touched his head and said, "It's Xia Tong who is ashamed, not me." ”

Ying Xiaozheng said: "Father Zeng means, don't let Father be embarrassed anymore, Father is also Gongzi Qin." ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Okay, I didn't consider whether he was ashamed or not. ”

Ying Xiaozheng said: "But uncle, you just said that my father is very ashamed. ”

Seeing the two uncles and nephews singing and harmonizing, the old Qin King sighed helplessly, and he was in a very happy mood.

Although he was jealous of Zhu Xiang, when he was with Zhu Xiang and Ying Xiaozheng, he was really happy and wanted to laugh at any time.

After Ying Xiaozheng's words shocked him, the old Qin King first became angry for a few days, and then began to reflect when he was angry.

Did he underestimate himself too much? His reputation and merits are definitely much higher than Bai Qi and Zhu Xiang and others, does he not need to be afraid of Bai Qi and Zhu Xiang at all? Even the louder Bai Qi and Zhu Xiang are, the greater their momentum?

The old King of Qin has been the King of Qin for so long, and he does not go to the end with a tendon, but he often reflects on himself and adjusts his strategy.

It's just that after getting old, his thinking is no longer as active as before, and he is not as able to take it as he used to be, and he has become a little good-looking and a little paranoid.

Old King Qin often looked at himself in the mirror and sighed at his old age.

There are many things he is starting to struggle with, such as the time to deal with government affairs is much shorter than before.

He wanted to do more, but his energy was no longer enough to support his intense work, which scared him.

People are afraid of death, and the old Qin King, who has many people, is even more afraid of death. He watched himself slip into death, and the feeling of powerlessness often gave him crazy thoughts.

But his intellect can still restrain himself, so he is still a wise king.

When the old King Qin returned with Zhu Xiang and Ying Xiaozheng, he often looked at Ying Xiaozheng in a daze.

Ying Xiaozheng's intelligence and youth made the old King Qin proud and jealous.

The seedlings grow, showing the withering of the old trees. He has great-grandchildren, and great-grandchildren are still so good, all of which proves that he should leave, and the Qin State should be handed over to others.

But the old King Qin didn't want to die, he finally made the Qin State so powerful, and he wanted to become the one who unified the world.

Zhu Xiang saw the old King Qin's heart disease, but he was helpless and couldn't say anything to comfort the old King Qin.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are the normal state of life, and no one can change it. So only the old King Qin himself figured out this matter.

And can the old King Qin figure it out himself? Zhu Xiang didn't know.

There is a great terror between life and death, and who can accept their death calmly? Not even Qin Shi Huang.

Zhu Xiang did not mention this matter to the old King of Qin, but when the boat sailed from the Yangtze River into the Han River, the old King of Qin took the initiative to ask Zhu Xiang.

The old King of Qin asked, "Zhu Xiang, is there really an immortal in the world?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "I haven't seen it." But even if there were, maybe the gods wouldn't change the things of the mortal world. If the immortals can meddle in the mortal world at will, then this is not an immortal, but another monarch. ”

The old Qin King said again: "Will that person have another life?" ”

Zhu Xiang smiled: "This must be there!" ”

The old King of Qin asked, "Why are you so sure?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "I believe in one thing, I don't need a reason, I just affirm that people will have the next life." ”

Old King Qin sighed: "What will happen to my next life?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "I don't know about this. However, I believe that if a person has done a feat in this life that can promote the positive development of the world, then he will definitely accumulate blessings in the next life. ”

Old King Qin nodded.

A few days later, the old King Qin asked Zhu Xiang again: "Have you really never seen an immortal?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "I really haven't seen it." ”

Old King Qin said: "Then have you ever seen a soul?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "I have only seen my own soul. ”

The old King Qin was silent for a few more days.

When the boat docked on the shore and the old King of Qin and Zhu Xiang were about to take the carriage back to Xianyang, the old King of Qin asked again: "Zhu Xiang, are you afraid of death?" ”

Zhu Xiang nodded: "I'm afraid." ”

Lao Qin Wang said: "But I don't think you're afraid at all." When you are afraid of death, how do you regulate your heart? ”

Zhu Xiang said: "I told myself that I would definitely have the next life, maybe as soon as I closed my eyes and opened my eyes, I would become another person, and there would be no pain at all in the middle." ”

Zhu Xiang said in his heart, he remembered his past life, so he was afraid of the next life, and he was afraid that he would come to a completely strange place with his memory.

In the next life, he may not be as lucky as he is now, and he may be born into a deeper hell. He cherishes the fond memories of the past, but he can't do anything about the current state of hell, just like when he was in Handan.

However, he was powerless to change and could only accept it.

Zhu Xiang said: "I hope that in the next life, I can lose my previous memories, so that no matter whether I encounter beauty or pain, I will not compare with this life, nor will I miss my previous life." ”

Zhu Xiang put his hand on his chest: "Missing is very painful. ”

As long as there is a past life, it will be difficult for him to fully integrate into this life. It's too painful.

Old King Qin looked at Zhu Xiang quietly. After a while, he said: "That's right, if you have memories of your past life, maybe it's not a good thing." What should be put down has to be put down. ”

The old King of Qin did not ask Zhu Xiang again, and they returned to the Qin State safe and sound.

But Zhu Xiang didn't think that the old King Qin would see it.

The old King Qin may have been struggling with reason and fear until the moment he died.

These are not Zhu Xiang's concerns. He is most concerned about his relatives who he has not seen for a long time.

"Snow!"

"Auntie!"

Zhu Xiang rushed up, wanting to hug the snow.

Unexpectedly, the snow passed over him, and he hugged Ying Xiaozheng and turned in circles.

Zhu Xiang: "......"

After Xue put down Ying Xiaozheng, she hugged Zhu Xiang: "Welcome home, beloved." ”

Zhu Xiang: "...... Anyway, I'm already behind the government. ”

Ying Xiaozheng laughed. The other people who came to greet Zhu Xiang couldn't help laughing.

Snow was flushed. She was just embarrassed to be in front of so many people, and hugged Zhu Xiang warmly as soon as she saw her.

"Okay, okay, if you don't rank first, you won't be ranked first, I don't care." Zhu Xiang said, "I'm back." ”

He saluted the elders in turn and presented gifts.

The gift he gave to Xunzi was a book written by a Confucian disciple he had seen in the former Southern Chu and now the Southern Qin.

Xunzi flipped through a few pages casually, and was furious, scolding these people for talking nonsense.

"Don't look at that!" Xunzi was furious, "Where did you come from! ”

Zhu Xiang said: "It's a disciple of Tantai Ming." I brought them back, and Xunzi wants to teach them himself? ”

Xunzi sneered: "Okay." ”

Zhu Xiang's heart blossomed. He likes to watch Xunzi scold.

However, Xunzi didn't seem to be too angry. Maybe Xunzi didn't hate the disciples of Tantai Mingming too much, but just reflexively scolded first.

After Zhu Xiang provoked Xunzi's anger, he went to find Lian Po again.

"Lian Gong, Li Mu is majestic this time." Zhu Xiang said, "They all said that although Lian Gong is old, Li Mu is in the prime of life, and the generals from Zhao State are afraid that they will occupy a place in Qin State." ”

Lian Po's eyes widened: "Who is old?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "It's not what I said, don't stare at me." However, Lian Gong is indeed old, and it is impossible to compare with Li Mu. ”

Lian Po knew that Zhu Xiang was deliberately provoking his anger, and he still chased after Zhu Xiang angrily.

How did this shaft go to the south and still be so rude? Is that how he treats his elders?

Bai Qi sighed deeply and stopped the angry Lian Po.

"Lian Qing, Zhu Xiang just hopes that you can continue to lead the troops into battle, and you don't have bad intentions." Bai Qi said.

Bai Qi thought that he could still lead the troops, but he no longer dared to lead the troops.

Lian is quite different. Although he is also a veteran with great military achievements, Lian Po has not made any contributions in the Qin State, so since Lian Po can still lead the troops, he can lead the troops. King Qin will be very pleased with Lian Po's comeback.

Bai Qi is very envious of Lian Po, and sincerely hopes that Lian Po can leave from this retirement place.
